Cylinder balancing in a single plane and in two planes

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the balancing of hollow cylinders, specifically addressing the differences between single-plane (static) and two-plane (dynamic) balancing. The participant, Adrián, seeks to understand how the hollowness of a cylinder influences its balancing process, referencing the guideline for filled cylinders. Key equations discussed include inertial force (F=m·r·(ang_v)^2) and torque (T=F·l). A consensus suggests that the hollowness does not significantly impact the balancing process for rod-like axles.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of static and dynamic balancing principles
  • Familiarity with the equations of motion, specifically F=m·r·(ang_v)^2 and T=F·l
  • Knowledge of ISO 1940/1 standards for mass imbalance in rotating machinery
  • Concept of L/D ratio in relation to balancing techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of hollow versus solid cylinders in mechanical balancing
  • Explore the derivation and application of ISO 1940/1 standards in practical scenarios
  • Learn about the effects of angular velocity on mass imbalance and balancing techniques
  • Investigate advanced balancing techniques for complex rotor shapes
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, students studying dynamics and vibrations, and professionals involved in machinery maintenance and design will benefit from this discussion.

Homework Statement: Hollow cylinder balancing
Homework Equations: F=m·r·(ang_v)^2
T=F·l

Hi, I want to know how the hollowness of a cylinder would affect its balancing process.
A little introduction: There are 2 different types of balancing: in a single plane (static balance) and in 2 planes (dynamic balance). The first one is intended for disk-like objects and the second one is for rod-like ones (the axis dimension, L, is not negligible in relation to the diameter D).
I have a guideline stating the type of balancing process needed according to the L/D ratio and the angular velocity [rpm]. The problem is that the guideline is intended for "filled" cylinders, not hollow ones.
Do you think that the hollowness would make the cylinder more disk-like or do you think I does not affect? What I've tried so far:
Inertial force: F=m·r·(ang_v)^2 --- m: unbalance mass; r: radius (mass imbalance, U=m·r)
Torque: T=F·l; --- l: distance between the forces
Force in each support: Fs=F·(l/h) --- h: distance between supports
In the worst case scenario: Fs=U*ang_v^2*L/h
According to ISO 1940/1, there is an acceptable maximum mass imbalance for each kind of machine, defined by each quality grade G: G[mm/s]=U·ang_v/m_rotor, so U<G·m_rotor/ang_v
I don't know how could I relate this to the shape of the rotor

Thanks in advance
Adrián

Since the case you are interested in is a rod-like axle, it isn't going to make much difference whether it is hollow or solid.
However, I do not know how the expression for G is arrived at.
